About

You’re here because you’re wondering who I am – that’s a loaded question, isn’t it?

Born and raised in California, I spent my childhood chasing trails through the woods, skiing mountain peaks, and running straight for the ocean anytime I could. Nature was—and still is—my happy place. These days, I’m a trail-loving ultrarunner (yep, one of those people who voluntarily run farther than a marathon for fun). Catch me finding peace, clarity, and a serious endorphin rush out at Percy Warner or Beaman Park in Nashville.

I’m always in motion—whether that’s moving my body, moving toward personal growth, or moving through my latest “let’s learn everything about this” deep dive. When I’m not in session or on the trails, you’ll find me hanging out with my three awesome adult kids, a lovable misfit crew of rescue animals, and a stack of half-read books I’m definitely coming back to. I’m usually in jeans and a concert tee, laughing at something wildly inappropriate, and showing up as my whole, authentic self.

I’m also a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman—and that revelation cracked open a whole new level of self-understanding and empathy that deeply informs my work. My therapy style is grounded, compassionate, and a little bit rebellious. I’m not here to fix you; I’m here to help you find the you that’s been buried under expectations, pain, and people-pleasing.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 20+ years working in nonprofits, advocating for affordable housing, public health, and human rights. That chapter taught me how systems impact our mental health, and why fighting for change—whether personal or political—is part of healing. Eventually, I traded policy papers for therapy rooms because I wanted to help people more directly—and more deeply.

As a therapist, I create a calm, grounded space where you can exhale, be real, and explore the raw, messy, sacred parts of your story. Together, we’ll work with evidence-based tools and techniques tailored to you. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationships, neurodivergence, or just trying to figure your shit out—I’ve got you.
